How much does Bush pay for health insurance?

I wonder how much of his income he has to set aside to keep up with the monthly payments.
--------------------
He doesn't. Under Federal law the United States Navy Medical Department is the single manager of health care for the President, Vice President, the Senate and Members of the House of Representatives. All receive free medical care. If the President needs hospitalization it is provided at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. The sole exception to the system in my lifetime was President Dwight David Eisenhower. He was treated at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. because he was a retired general and already rated care there. If the President had signed the latest version of the States Childrens Health Insurance Program bill, it would have given free health care to the children of parents earning up to $80,000 a year without any of those parents paying a dime of premiums.
